Description
betaSt Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School is a selective secondary school for boys, founded by royal charter in 1571, and located in Orpington, Greater London, England. The school is known for its rich history and academic excellence. The institution was initially formed through the collaboration of St Olave’s and St Saviour’s Grammar Schools, with St Saviour’s Grammar School having obtained a license in 1562. The schools amalgamated in 1896, and a new school for girls, St Saviour’s and St Olave's Grammar School for Girls, became operational in 1903.
The school serves students from ages 11 to 18, and has approximately 1062 students enrolled. As a Church of England grammar school, it retains strong religious affiliations, and its motto is "Olaf to Right the Wrong." Students are selected on the basis of high academic performance in entrance tests, and the school operates as a voluntary aided grammar school, with the Governing Body serving as the admission authority.
Notable features of St Olave’s Grammar School include its academic performance, with more than 100 students joining in the Sixth Form post-GCSE, and its unique blend of history, tradition, and a forward-looking approach. The school celebrates its heritage while providing students with a modern and engaging educational experience.
